A pard told of a great looking blonde who worked in the old BushCo back in the day, 70’s IIRC. He went to flight school with her. Said when it came time to get hours the instructor told them that old so and so was going to give them a discount deal on a rental 172 to build hours. She sheepishly raised her hand and asked if it would be okay if she built hours in a 185 instead. When the instructor said he guessed so but why, she replied that she knew she’d need a plane if she was going to fly so she’d bought one, with cash!

I would guess it is not so lucrative today based on the number of places left open.

Hell, everybody in Ak was buying planes with cash back in the 70's from what I hear.
Oil workers would buy a plane, take enough lessons to learn how to get it up in the air and then play around till they crashed them.
At least that's the story I got from an old timer I used to know. He was a flight instructor in Fairbanks back in the day.

No bush...clean beaver perhaps ??
Lol ! Alaska is # 1 for VD. When we say "get effed", we mean it!  "VD" is sooo 1980s. You prefer "clap"? In terminology, of course. I've been to MT three times. Probably no more. I don't do crowds and waiting lines well...., especially in cold, tho such conditions are usually indicative of an over-hyped fad, or a really good place, or both. I don't do beer anymore, and the pizza wasn't worth it, tho good. Leaves more of both for you guys.

I'll be using my 300Rum, pushing 200grain Accubonds at 3150.
Rem 700ss, Micky rem classic, edge fill, Zeiss HD5 2x10x44, rz600
Dead on at 200, 300 yards aiming point, +2".
Doubt the guide will let me shoot any further, but I'm good to 600+.
Shot a nice sub 2" group at 300 so she's ready

For an interior grizz thats more than enough gun for sure. At least you picked a heavy bullet, I"d have gone mono but thats a personal thing mostly.
Good luck. Will be waiting on the pictures. Have only seen tracks here in Talkeetna so far. Boss has seen 2 bears in town though.

Really nice in Talkeetna today. Be careful and good luck. Takes a day at minimum to get to AK from about anywhere IMHO.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
